Ahmedabad Plane Crash New Vide: A new video has emerged from BJ Medical College days after the Air India plane crash that claimed 270 lives. The footage is now circulating on social media and shows students jumping from the college building moments after the Boeing Dreamliner struck the campus. It shows students attempting to escape through balconies and windows. One student is seen using tied bedsheets to climb down. Others are seen holding iron grills while trying to lower themselves to safety.
The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on June 12. The plane struck the college complex at 1.39 p.m. and burst into flames.
The crash killed 241 people onboard and 29 others on the ground. Many of the victims on the ground were medical students and staff.
Only one passenger survived the crash. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national of Indian origin, managed to escape through a gap near seat 11A. He told reporters he crawled out moments before the fire spread through the wreckage.
